In this episode of the In Seezyn Podcast, we welcome Catherine Appling-Pooler, the Director of Policy at the National Deer Association (NDA), for an insightful discussion on the challenges facing wildlife commissions across the country. With states like Kentucky, Kansas, and Vermont proposing changes to the authority and roles of their wildlife agencies, the future of conservation and hunting regulations is at a crossroads.
We dive into:
- What wildlife commissions are and why they are crucial for conservation
- The growing legislative threats to wildlife commissions and why hunters should care
- NDA’s stance on preserving the current appointment system for commissioners
- How changes to commission authority could impact deer management and hunting regulations
- The history of wildlife governance and its role in restoring game populations
- How hunters and conservationists can get involved in protecting the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation
Catherine breaks down the importance of having experienced, conservation-minded individuals in these roles and the risks posed by special interest groups trying to influence wildlife management decisions. She also shares ways for sportsmen and women to stay informed and take action through NDA’s Advocacy Center.
If you care about the future of hunting, wildlife conservation, and the policies that shape our outdoor heritage, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
